Singer/actress/model/lingerie designer/entrepreneur Uhm Jung-Hwa, who recently released her 100000000000th album “D.I.S.C.O.”, revealed on SBS’s “Ya Shim Man Man” that her age has made her ponder on whether she should continue becoming a dance singer. Ms. Uhm shed tears as she admitted, “After my previous album, I took a short break. During that time, I thought hard about how an aging female singer should do her music. I felt that I shouldn’t release any more albums.” She also said, “I was finding my place as an actress, and the people around me said ‘You don’t need to release any more music’. When I heard that, though, I felt so bad.” Fortunately (or unfortunately), Uhm Jung-Hwa decided that she still can’t give up her singing career. “Although a music career makes me really busy, I feel very passionate about it and I can’t forget the love that I received from my fans. Also, after hearing my old songs, I missed taking the stage.” Ms. Hyorish was mentioned by the “seasoned” performer as well: “Lee Hyori is 30 now, but everyone’s already giving her pressure due to her age.” She also said a bunch of other stuff about how lonely she was while doing music (didn’t she say she couldn’t forget the love from her fans?), but this interview’s just too long so I’ll cut right here. I can see why Uhm Jung-Hwa feels kind of insecure; after all, she’s competing against pedophile-pleasers like the Wonder Girls and Girls’ Generation. And doesn’t Kara have two new members who are like, 14? As much as I don’t like “D.I.S.C.O.”, I do admire the woman for staying this long in the music industry, considering she hasn’t exactly had a huge chart-topping hit. She won an acting award before for her performance in some movie I can’t remember, so it’s pretty brave of her to not pursue acting full-time and still continue dishing out electro-techno-dance songs. And well, considering that she’s already 38 (in Korean age), I think she looks pretty good (once again, considering her age, okay?). Or maybe she’s had some generous helpings of Korea’s pride, the plastic surgery industry.
